This morning, at about 2.40 am, Ishma Ali, 39, from L’anse Mitan Road Moruga was sleeping in her home when she was awoken by her dogs’ barking.
Ali’s husband, Lincoln Samaroo got up to see what was outside. He was shot in the left leg. Fearing for his life, the man ran into bushes to evade the shooters.
He returned to the scene with the police and found Ali’s body on the ground. She was shot once in the chest.
There are no motives for this shooting.
Investigations continue.
